April 27, 2020 Digital Projects I looked at Crystal’s Laser Beam Ukulele, Lauren’s Capacitive-Touch Painting, and Paul’s Grain Cube. I chose these projects because they were designs that I had never seen before. I really enjoyed the Laser Beam Ukulele because I play guitar and ukulele and it was interesting to hear how the designContinue reading “Analog Lab Week 13”

April 20, 2020 Intro to 555 Timers 1. Using Multisim, build a Monostable Multivibrator that has a decay of around 2 seconds. Determine the value of R1 assuming you are using 10uF for C1. Take a screenshot of the split screen showing that the pulse stays “high” for about 2 seconds. Also include a link to yourContinue reading “Analog Lab Week 12”

April 13, 2020 Guitar Pedals 1) Research at least 3 different analog guitar pedal manufacturers. Here is a huge list if you need it. Try to look at big brands who manufacture a lot of pedals as well as boutique companies that have smaller lines. I looked at: Area51tone’s The Alienist Dandelectro’s Spring King Reverb Boss’s BD-2 BluesContinue reading “Analog Lab Week 11”

April 6, 2020 How to Simulate Circuit Made In Demo Multisim Live: Analog Lab Week 10 (with distortion) Post Demo Circuit Multisim Live: Analog Lab Week 10 (without Distortion)

March 30, 2020 Diodes / Diode Clipping Distortion 1) For this circuit… …if the sine wave you’re putting into the diode clipping circuit is loud enough to distort, which of these will the output signal look like? It will look like A a) b) 2) For this circuit… …if the sine wave you’re putting into the diodeContinue reading “Analog Lab Week 9”

March 23, 2020 Oscillators 1) With the oscillator we’re studying the comparator outputs a square wave and the integrator outputs a triangle wave. 2) With an integrator, if Vin is positive the output voltage ramps down (up/down). If Vin is negative the output voltage ramps up (up/down). 3) With a comparator, if the op amp’s + input isContinue reading “Analog Lab Week 8”

March 9, 2020 Adjustable RC Circuit Filters 10K Potentiometer: A 1 microFarad capacitor needs to be used for a 10k potentiometer in a high/low pass filter 100K Potentiometer: A .1 microFarad capacitor needs to be used for a 100k potentiometer in a high/low pass filter High Pass Filter: Low Pass Filter: Dual: Filter Question: ToContinue reading “Analog Lab Report 6”

March 2, 2020 Make a bipolar power supply with two batteries V(normal) = 9.36 V(with other ground row) = -9.63 DC blocking, current limiting circuit Adding a resistor and a capacitor on each end allows the AC current to flow while blocking any DC current. If the DC current wasn’t blocked, it could damage expensiveContinue reading “Analog Lab Report 5”

February 24, 2020 The Oscilloscope An oscilloscope graphs Voltage over time. To make it work correctly certain controls must be on. Find the power button and turn it on (it might take a few seconds to fully turn on). Then flip the “vert mode” switch to Ch.1 to only see that channel. Make the underContinue reading “Analog Lab Report 4”
